Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false. The description adds value by detailing the default model (free) and optional Anthropic probing with BYO key, plus the return format (per-model and combined). This provides behavioral context beyond the annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is concise, consisting of four sentences with the main action front-loaded. Every sentence provides essential information: purpose, default model, optional Anthropic, return format, and use cases. No wasted words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's complexity (4 parameters, 1 required, no output schema), the description adequately covers purpose, usage, parameter details, and return format. It could mention potential errors or rate limits, but annotations and the description together are sufficient for an agent to use the tool correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds meaning by explaining the default model for the 'models' parameter, the need for '_apiKey' only when probing Anthropic, and how 'context' disambiguates. This enriches the schema descriptions.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: probing LLMs to score visibility (0-100) for a given entity. It specifies the verb 'probe', the resource 'LLMs', and the output 'score visibility per model'. It distinguishes itself from siblings by focusing on multi-model visibility scoring, unlike 'entity_profile' or 'scan_competitor_ai_presence'.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides explicit usage contexts: 'AI-marketing audits, pre-launch brand checks, competitive monitoring'. It implies when to use but does not explicitly mention when not to use or compare to specific sibling tools. The context is clear and actionable.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false. The description adds beyond: mentions routing to the correct tool among thousands, returns structured answers with stable pipeworx:// citation URIs. No contradictions. Adds useful behavioral context.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's complexity (6 params, no output schema, rich annotations), the description covers purpose, usage, behavioral traits, and return format (structured with citations). It is complete for an agent to decide and invoke correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description does not add details about individual parameters beyond stating it routes the question and fills arguments. The schema already describes aliases and the question parameter. Satisfactory but does not exceed expectations.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: answering factual questions with authoritative structured data. It explicitly distinguishes itself from web search ('PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH') and lists many domains. The verb 'routes' plus resource '3,436 tools' makes it specific and distinct from siblings.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the complexity (6 parameters, no output schema), the description covers tool behavior comprehensively: how it works, return structure, refusal reasons, and when to use. It fully compensates for the lack of output schema.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the input schema already documents all parameters with descriptions and aliases. The description does not add substantial semantic meaning beyond the schema's own description. Baseline of 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Description clearly states it is a 'Hallucination-resistant answer mode for high-stakes reads' and explains the routing, extraction, and refusal mechanism. It distinguishes from sibling ask_pipeworx by noting the extra LLM call and use case.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

The description extensively discloses behavioral traits beyond annotations: it explains resolution logic (resolver contract with confidence levels), fan-out mechanisms (parallel category-specific data packs), safety features (low-confidence suppression, closed market handling), response shapes (market/analysis/evidence fields), and edge cases (wide spreads, news fallbacks). Annotations only indicate readOnly, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior, so the description adds deep transparency.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is well-structured with clear sections (usage, classifiers, fan-out examples, response shapes) and front-loads the purpose in the first sentence. However, it is verbose—containing extensive examples, multiple fan-out cases, and detailed field descriptions. While informative, it could be more concise to avoid overwhelming an AI agent, especially given the tool's complexity.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's complexity (no output schema, multiple response fields, edge cases), the description is remarkably complete. It explains all major response components (market, analysis, evidence, resolver contract, parent event, news fields), safety mechanisms, and blocking conditions. Without an output schema, the description fulfills the role of documenting return structure and behavior comprehensively.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The input schema already describes all three parameters with 100% coverage. The description adds meaning by contextualizing them: it provides examples for the 'market' parameter (slug, URL, question text), explains 'depth' with quick vs thorough behavior ('2-3 evidence sources' vs 'full fan-out'), and details 'include_raw' with size implications and use cases. This goes beyond the schema's descriptions.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The first sentence clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Research a Polymarket bet by pulling the relevant Pipeworx data for it in one call.' It specifies the verb (research), resource (Polymarket bet via Pipeworx), and scope (single call). The description also distinguishes usage from siblings by suggesting it for 'should I bet on X' queries, while siblings like polymarket_edges serve different purposes.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description explicitly states when to use the tool: 'Use for "should I bet on X", "what does the data say about Y", or "is there edge in Z".' It provides examples of classifiers and fan-outs, offering clear context. However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use it or compare directly with sibling tools like ask_pipeworx or polymarket_edges, which would strengthen guidance.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already indicate safe, read-only, idempotent behavior. Description adds rich context: data sources (SEC EDGAR/XBRL, FAERS), handling of off-calendar fiscal years, sorting by primary metric, and citation URIs. No contradiction.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's complexity (discovery among many siblings), the description covers purpose, usage, and output. However, it lacks detail on the format of the returned tools (e.g., whether it's a list of tool names with schemas or something else). Still, it is complete enough for the agent to understand.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by listing example queries ('look up FDA drug approvals', 'analyze housing market trends') and noting that 'query' accepts aliases (task, q, description, search). This clarifies parameter usage beyond the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Find tools by describing the data or task.' It lists specific data domains (SEC filings, FDA drugs, etc.) and explains it returns top-N relevant tools. This distinguishes it from sibling tools, which are specific tools for specific tasks.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicit usage advice: 'Use when you need to browse, search, look up, or discover what tools exist for...' and 'Call this FIRST when you have many tools available and want to see the option set (not just one answer).' This tells the agent when to use it and when not to.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
